In this episode of the Lifting Lindsay podcast, Lindsay discusses the essential concepts of fat burning versus fat loss, explaining that despite common misconceptions, they are not the same. She highlights how fat burning refers to the process of using dietary or stored body fat as an energy source, whereas fat loss involves the actual reduction in body fat percentage. Lindsay offers insights into fat metabolism, including the processes of lipolysis and beta-oxidation, and how fat leaves the body.

In this episode of the Lifting Lindsay podcast, Lindsay talks about the impact of the menstrual cycle on women's strength and whether there should be adjustments in training methods according to the different phases of the cycle. Referencing a recent meta-analysis of 22 studies published in January 2024, the conversation challenges blanket statements seen on social media that dismiss any menstrual cycle effects on strength. Delving deeper, Lindsay emphasizes the variability in how individuals experience their cycles and the implications for strength training. The importance of understanding hormonal fluctuations, particularly estrogen and progesterone, and their impact during the follicular and luteal phases of the cycle is highlighted. A flexible and informed approach to fitness that respects bodily changes and promotes health and strength without succumbing to rigid and uninformed training paradigms.

00:27 About the meta-analysis
05:12 What are we actually seeing?

In this episode of the Lifting Lindsay Podcast, Lindsay addresses the concerns and misinformation regarding muscle loss, particularly during periods of reduced physical activity. She begins by debunking myths around immediate muscle loss during short breaks from lifting, emphasizing that short-term breaks do not lead to significant muscle tissue loss. Lindsay delves into the process of muscle atrophy, differentiating between sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar hypertrophy, and explaining how nutrition, daily activity, and training intensity can influence muscle maintenance. She shares her personal experience of dealing with significant life events, including pregnancy and a miscarriage, which led to a temporary halt in her training routine and a noticeable change in her body composition.

Topics:
00:28 Let's talk muscle loss and the causes of atrophy
04:25 Setting the stage with the story I told on Instagram
17:31 Allowing myself to be flexible with life
22:07 The reality could be just a depletion in glycogen storage
26:58 I'm going to be increasing my carb intake around workouts
30:00 Looking at the studies
37:30 So now what do I do?

Dr. Darren Candow, a professor in the faculty of kinesiology and health studies at the University of Regina in Canada, delivers an in-depth discussion about creatine. He discusses its benefits, addresses common misconceptions, and highlights the supplement’s effects on athletes, young adults, elderly, and clinical populations. He also addresses concerns such as weight gain, kidney stress, and issues with combining creatine and caffeine. He dispels myths about creatine causing baldness and 'man boobs', and also emphasizes on ways to incorporate creatine into a regular diet, especially for vegans and vegetarians. Towards the end of the conversation, he delves into recent research that shows creatine can have cognitive benefits and potential gains for those experiencing metabolic stress.

Lindsay discusses various aspects of muscle growth, including how to overcome plateaus and why muscle growth is important for different reasons in different individuals. She also touches upon the importance of planning workouts, tracking weights, increasing workout intensity occasionally, and even sharing her experience with pregnancy and how it changed her routine. Lindsay gives recommendations for choosing the desired volume of sets in a week, emphasizing the importance of being flexible and adjusting according to one's own body response instead of rigidly following existing gym trends. Along with training, she stresses the crucial role of diet in muscle building and recovery, particularly the significance of having sufficient sleep, supported by a 2011 study linking sleep deprivation to decreased muscle mass.

Lindsay discusses the contention surrounding banding exercises, particularly squats, hip thrusts, and glute bridges. She explains that while bands can sometimes be used as a learning tool for beginners, regular use can lead to decreased performance and diminished muscle growth. Lindsay debunks the popular belief that banding exercises contribute significantly to glute development and suggests that genetics, well-rounded exercise routines and quality movements are the actual causes of good muscle development. She disagrees with the trend where bands are used throughout the entire workout routine, which is often disseminated on social media. Lindsay concludes by reminding viewers that her optimized training programs do not include banding exercises which have been proven by studies and expert opinions to hinder workout performance and muscle growth.
